About the debate
How do museums of different types, with different scientific and cultural projects, approaches and resources, respond to the issues raised by the exhibition of collections linked to the history of slavery?
At a time when the Ministry of Culture is working on the promotion of ‘ contested heritage ’; when the issue of the ‘ decolonisation ’ of museums, collections and the way in which our institutions operate is at the heart of reflections by the community of professionals in France and abroad, particularly within ICOM; and when the issue of human rights is increasingly present in our professional exchanges, this evening offers a time for sharing experiences and reflections by professionals on this fundamental question: Heritage and the memory of slavery - how to exhibit collections related to this history? which today concerns a wide range of museum types.
The meeting is organised in partnership with the FME - Foundation for the Memory of Slavery.
It will be moderated by Nathalie Bondil, Director of the Museum and Exhibitions at the Institut du Monde Arabe, and translated simultaneously into English
The event is open to all, with advance registration.
